This Privacy Policy does not apply when you leave the site to enter other third party web site, which are opened in separate windows.

Please note that in some instances we may utilize framing techniques, which make it appear that you are on our Website when you are actually on a third-party Web site.

If you accessed the Website through a web site of one of the Company’s business partners, such as a co-branded or framed version of the site, the Company may share your information with such business partner.

If we decide to make a material change to our Website Privacy Policy, we will post those changes and make them accessible on the homepage of the Website, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

None of this information (collectively referred to as “non-personally identifiable information”), by itself, or together with other non-personally identifiable information, can by its nature be matched with a specific individual. We have no access or control of third party tracking technologies.

Website Cookies:The Website may place “cookies” on a visitor’s computer. Cookies are small text files. Our Cookies save anonymized data about individual visitors, allowing the Website to recognize information about a visitor and help deliver personalized content and other services and functions.
The Website uses both session cookies, which terminate when a user closes his browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s computer until they expire or are manually deleted.
The Website may also contain coding from our business and technology partners that generates third-party cookies. Third-party cookies allow our business and technology partners to store non-Personally Identifiable Information they can access when you visit this or other Websites.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and provide the ability to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser. Blocking cookies may result in a lower quality experience for you while you are the Website.
Web Beacons (1×1 Pixels or GIFS): Our Website contains coding known as Web Beacons that use 1×1 pixel images to capture and transmit the online activity of users on our Website. These Web Beacons typically transmit information about form completions and other Website activities in order to measure advertising effectiveness or store analytics information. In addition, the Company may use Web Beacons in HTML-based emails. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of our email communications and our marketing campaigns by showing how many emails recipients have opened.
Log Files: Like most Websites, our servers utilize log files. Log files store information including Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. Log files are used to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

The Company is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, their conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices.
